'Joyland' Blizzard Theme Park Being Built In China (PHOTOS)

So geek fantasies do come true. At least they do In Wunjin district, China. Reported way back on February 7, 2011 by a French gaming blog, the videogame studio Blizzard's World of Warcraft and StarCraft themed amusement park appears to be more than just rumor after recent photos of the construction surfaced along with a Chinese news report.

If you look closely you can just make out a bunch of locals lay on the floor forming the words "BUYGOLD.COM"

The most impressive part of the Warcraft park are the enormous statues lining your park experience with massive copyright infringement written all over their faces. There's no horde/alliance distinction however, and tauren/night elves/humans are strewn about with seeming abandon. They throw in mermaids and dragons for good measure.

It sounds almost like the park is made for real humans to go and visit instead of just warcraft-geeks!
